Thanks for your response. I am still deliberating. One thing you mentioned at the end was about how my weight has kept me from doing things I want. The problem is, nothing is motivating me enough right now to

get me going strong, except for my health. Back in June of 2005, I lost weight to go sky diving after I was inspired by an amazing group of people who jumped as a group the year before. I lost 30 pounds to jump and it was one of the most amazing things I have done. It was one major thing I did where I did not let my weight get in the way. My parents and brother all remind me how I have to keep making these goals to keep myself motivated, but nothing seems strong enough. I barely lost 10 pounds for my brother's wedding. Something has got to give. I am excited and scared by things that I might find myself doing, but I'm thinking, maybe I need to lose the weight to see exactly what I've been missing. I don't see this happening without the aid of the Lap-Band. -Gina :>)
